Consider the following DataFrame:
dates = pd.date_range("2020-12-25", "2020-12-27")df = pd.DataFrame({"A":dates})df
A0 2020-12-251 2020-12-262 2020-12-27
Here, column A has type datetime64[ns].
To get the day of week for each date in column A, use dt.day_name():
df["A"].dt.day_name() # returns a Series
0 Friday1 Saturday2 SundayName: A, dtype: object
